newbie with 19' rim question

Hello all

I picked up my new 02 is200 sport just before Easter and since then I have had TTE front, rear and side skirts fitted. With the extra bodywork, my poor 17's are looking... well, a bit small.

I’m new to modifications and upgrades and this lex is only the second car I ever owned, so please, excuse my stupidity!

I’ve read through the forums on rims and suspension, but still I’m unclear on a few things.

If I fit some 19' x 8's, apart from bending away some of plastic on the front wheel arches to get full lock, is there anything else I need to do?

Do I need to get some new springs to harden the suspension to counteract that I have bigger wheels or am I going to be all right running the standard lex setup?

I’m just a bit concerned that if I have a full load in the car or go over some potholes will the tries rub.

Thanks

Will

Welcome to the club, and never worry about asking a question. That's what we are here for!

In answer to your question, it is not nessecary to fit lowering spring, but they do make the 19's look even bigger.
